I think the phrase for this is 'modified limited hangout'
Tabak, the NIH principal deputy director, broke the news in a letter to Rep. James Comer, the House Oversight Committee’s top Republican. The “limited experiment” used humanized mice to test infection with bat coronaviruses; the modified virus did indeed sicken more of them than the unmodified one. But “EcoHealth failed to report this finding right away, as was required by the terms of the grant,” Tabak wrote, vowing to demand full disclosure from the grantee.
Laughably, Tabak also claims the 2018 experiments didn’t fit the definition of the US ban on funding gain-of-function work on potential pandemic-causers “because these bat coronaviruses had not been shown to infect humans.”
"Well, yes, we did do this, but we didn't to that!" Oh, of course not. And, despite how much and how long they've been lying, we can trust them. Really, we can!

Gee, I wonder why so much of the media doesn't talk about this?
Knowing full well that many people only read headlines, the liberal spin game is on. Left-wing websites are pushing the narrative that most of Lake’s lawsuit was dismissed. While true, they all “forgot” to mention the all-important decision that Lake now has a chance to put her money where her mouth is and prove mass voter fraud involving ballots with bogus signatures.
Why, you'd think that would count as news, wouldn't you?

Leftists and other anti-rights clowns just love them some Jim Crow laws,
as long as they're used to attack gun ownership.
There you have it, folks: An NAACP leader opposing the repeal of Jim Crow laws under the logic that everything is a Jim Crow law. I’ll give him the NC Constitution (and particularly its literacy test requirement), but the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788, roughly 89 years before the Jim Crow era. If he doesn’t know what a Jim Crow law is, perhaps Mr. Givens should read this article.
Such wonderful people, aren't they?
Also: yes, marxism has a history of being built on bodies, including those of the useful idiots.

Well, that's two good things out of courts
A federal judge blocked the Biden administration from implementing environmental regulations redefining how water sources are protected, but which opponents have argued were an example of overreach.
That's good. Even better is
U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney on Monday ruled in favor of the California Rifle & Pistol Association (CRPA) and four individuals who had said the law violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms since no new guns being manufactured complied with it, Reuters reported.

There has been a definite lack of gunblogging lately,
and that's not going to change much for the next while. Family and beat-up-body stuff has kept me from doing much. Oh, there's a lot of stuff I want to try out, but...
When circumstances allow there will be more. In the meantime, some entertainment can't hurt

I keep thinking "How stupid do you have to be...", and
someone always seems to be taking it as a challenge.
A wildlife expert has urged governments to take action over a recent social media trend of people purposely placing themselves in crocodile habitats.
While there should be exceptions for kids who haven't been taught yet that 'screwing with predators is a BAD idea', otherwise I see this as something of a self-correcting problem: let the lizards eat them.* Though morons feeding/annoying them from boats do deserve a suitable punishment.
*They already look on anything in the water/on the shore as food, so you're not teaching them anything.

This is excellent, a good whack at the censorship of the Covid mongers
...in a lawsuit that has exposed an elaborate, multi-agency federal government censorship regime. Judge Doughty wrote, “The Court finds that the Complaint alleges significant encouragement and coercion that converts the otherwise private conduct of censorship on social media platforms into state action, and is unpersuaded by Defendants’ arguments to the contrary.”
Discovery in the lawsuit unequivocally establishes that at least eleven federal agencies and sub-agencies, including CDC and DHS, directed social media companies to censor viewpoints that conflict with the federal government’s messaging on topics ranging from Covid-19 to elections. Federal officials engaged in a lawless, expansive censorship campaign that employed illicit tactics—including coercion, collusion and coordination—on social media companies to suppress the airing of disfavored perspectives on Covid-19 and other topics. As a direct result of state action, NCLA’s clients were blacklisted, shadow-banned, de-boosted, throttled, and censored, merely for articulating views opposed to government-approved views on Covid-19 restrictions and regulations. Judge Doughty held that “Plaintiffs have plausibly alleged state action under the theories of joint participation, entwinement, and the combining of factors such as subsidization, authorization, and encouragement.”
In confirming Plaintiffs’ standing, Judge Doughty said, “The threat of future censorship is substantial, and the history of past censorship is strong evidence that the threat of further censorship is not illusory or merely speculative.” Judge Doughty also found Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries-in-fact are “redressable by the Court,” and that Plaintiffs had demonstrated sovereign immunity does not bar their First Amendment, ultra vires, or APA claims.

More from the latest Twitter Files
"Who cares about truth, these people are causing problems and we want them shut down!

New Twitter Files release,
more of the "Silence those people! Especially the ones telling true stuff we don't want people to hear!" crap from the .gov.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, whose lawsuit is shattering Biden administration coverups, described the program: Federal health officials in the Surgeon General’s Office, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Health and Human Services collaborated in a “censorship enterprise called the Virality Project, which procures the censorship of enormous quantities of First Amendment-protected speech.”
Disinformation warriors worked overtime to suppress “false” claims about the side effects of COVID vaccine, especially the true claims. Since the Food and Drug Administration officially (and speedily) approved COVID vaccines, any reports of side effects were automatically disinformation.
The Virality Project recommended that social-media companies suppress “stories of true vaccine side effects” and “true posts which could fuel [vaccine] hesitancy.” The project “routinely framed real testimonials about [vaccine] side effects as misinformation, from ‘true stories’ of blood clots from AstraZeneca vaccines to a New York Times story about vaccine recipients who contracted the blood disorder thrombocytopenia.”

Now we have "If you drink coffee, you're perpetuating racism!",
at least if you're white.
No, I'm not linking to this idiocy, you can find it if you need the brain damage of reading it.

I'd heard 'The Soviets saved Europe!' crap before and generally ignored it;
well, it's still around. This gentleman has rounded up many of the ways to call bullshit on it.
… From 1939 through mid-1941, Soviet Russia collaborated with the Nazis in wreaking slaughter and savagery on the nations of Europe.
… There is no denying that a vast number of Soviet citizens lost their lives in World War II. Without the Russian people’s appalling suffering and sacrifice, the Allies might not have triumphed in the end.
But there is also no denying that Moscow was Nazi Germany’s partner in unleashing the war, the deadliest in human history, in the first place. Victory Day is a good opportunity to review the record of Russian culpability in plunging the world into war — a record the Kremlin’s propagandists have been trying to obscure for decades.
That this is mostly unknown to the idiots promoting communism is a fine indictment(as if we needed another) of our school system.

I have to wonder about the leftists* screaming to indict Trump over, well,
anything: do they actually think this is a good idea, or do they hate him so much they don't bother thinking?
Back in the '16 election I once said 'at this point I'd be glad to see him win just to watch the leftists lose what's left of their minds', and they did. Which led to some of the worst exposed corruption by some politicians and journalists, and miserably sorry excuses for peace officers imaginable. Which polarized the country worse, causing a lot of people who hadn't before to at least sympathize with Trump.
Now this crap out of New effing York, and the 'International Criminal Court'. Which I think is liable to backfire bigtime, right in their faces. And they don't seem to care if it does, because 'Orange Man Bad! and we hates him, we do!'
Throw in the bank crap, and the threat of war with Russia and the PRC, which- bad things happen- you KNOW they'll blame it on Trump, because they cannot stand the idea of taking blame for what they've done. Or admitting how compromised- at the least- Biden & Co. are by the PRC, and probably to some extent with Russia(remember all the deals the Clintons and others did with Russia in the past?).
One big bloody nasty mess, with the leftists determined to do as much as they can cram through(like the "Yes, we must ban gas stoves and heaters!" idiocy) before things fall apart.
Throw in the supposedly 'conservative' Stupid Party clowns and journalists who have only one guiding principle: Never Trump! No matter how much damage it has and will do, and they've got hellish dirty hands for their part in this.
It's enough to make you despair.
